Children and Young Peoples

Our Children and Young People’s Service provides dedicated support to children and young people living in our emergency accommodation.

We also have a specialist Children’s IDVA (ChIDVA) working with children and young people in the community who are exposed to high-risk domestic abuse.

We work to improve confidence, reduce isolation and build self-esteem. We support young people to develop coping strategies and provide space for them to explore their feelings, thoughts and hopes for the future.

Support can be offered through one-to-one or group sessions and may include work around:

• Understanding domestic abuse
• Abuse within intimate and family relationships
• Healthy relationships
• Parenting and rebuilding relationships
• Early intervention
• Age-appropriate safety planning
• Revenge porn, sexting and online safety
• Grooming and child sexual exploitation
• Honour-based violence
• Consent and sexual health
• Coercion and control
